U.S.-Mexico Borderlands

Southern Cultures, the award-winning, peer-reviewed quarterly from UNC’s Center for the Study of the American South, encourages submissions from scholars, writers, and artists for our Coastal Foodways Issue, to be published Spring 2018. We will be accepting submissions for this special issue through October 3, 2017, at https://southerncultures.submittable.com/Submit .

The School for Advanced Research will begin its fall term with a series of lectures by our 2017-2018 Resident Scholars. Scholars speak about the projects they are working on while in Santa Fe. The colloquia take place from noon to 1:00 p.m. every Wednesday and are free and open to the public. Please join us to meet the scholars and learn more about the fascinating work being done in the fields of anthropology and the social sciendes.
